Every weekend, players can show what they can do in PvP endgame, the “Trials of Osiris,” in Destiny 2. However, while most players give their best, the fun is increasingly taken away by cheaters. A YouTuber demonstrates how brazen they are and, above all, how incredibly obvious.
What is currently happening in Destiny 2’s PvP? Every weekend, “The Trials of Osiris” take place in Destiny 2. This activity is considered the ultimate PvP endgame in the loot shooter and is supposed to attract thousands of players every weekend.
Currently, however, more and more of the most loyal PvP players in Destiny 2 are throwing in the towel in frustration. The reason is the continued increase in cheaters, which ensure that honest players have little chance of becoming “Flawless”.
- They fly around, are invisible, or can even shoot through walls.
- They have infinite and instant Power and Special ammo.
- And even an account ban apparently no longer prevents them from continuing to cheat.
Destiny 2 attracted many interested players in particular with the new “Witch Queen” DLC, who are exploring the loot shooter for the first time:
The YouTuber Lucky10PP criticizes how brazen and persistent the cheaters have become. They are no longer even bothered that their illegal activities are being recorded. On the contrary.
A cheater even specifically targeted Destiny 2 streamers this weekend, such as ZKMushroom or Gjake.
The latter shared the incredible actions of the cheater in Destiny 2 on Twitter, showing how the exotic weapon “Parasite” with infinite ammo blows hundreds of Wormspawn ammo into the sky while he effortlessly sprints through walls with his Arc Super.
And Destiny Bulletin also posted a flying cheater with a “rapid-fire sniper” who has a permanent supply of 69 rounds of special ammo and does not lose this reserve.
Destiny 2’s cheat systems are too slow: Although Bungie has several anti-cheat systems, they do not seem to be reliable.
Lucky10PP has cited 3 possible reasons for this:
- The cheater is allegedly using a very special hacker setup of 2 PCs/servers and hardware ID spoofers that can manipulate or change his hardware IDs to deceive Bungie’s anti-cheat systems.
- Additionally, he switches between accounts, claiming to promote his “3-dollar account recovery” to easily achieve the Flawless status for anyone.
- Cheaters also seem to particularly enjoy being in PvP on weekends because Bungie allegedly has fewer employees on duty, meaning bans happen less frequently.
This, however, also means that the endgame PvP, which only takes place on weekends, is heavily affected. In this case, it could be traced that the devilish cheater was able to wreak havoc for a full 3 days, almost the entire PvP weekend, without hindrance.
An endless tug-of-war: It is a constant and especially permanent struggle for every developer against cheaters. Especially since they do not tire of finding new methods to take the fun out of the game for other players.
Bungie is therefore in the process of suing multiple cheat providers to address the problem at its roots. However, as some players find, more than that may be needed.
Thus, the player Krantzstone suggests under the video from Lucky10PP so-called “Trials-Cops” as a solution:
If Bungie has no staff on weekends, they should perhaps appoint some prominent members of the D2 community as “Trials-Cops.” At least I’m sure that Bungie trusts their YouTube/Twitch streamer partners enough to entrust them with monitoring the worst cheaters in Trials, and Bungie can double-check their reports on Monday and take appropriate action.
Because it is clear that Bungie simply cannot keep up with all the cheat reports, but since Trials is a time-limited weekly event with a smaller player pool (but also the one with the most stakes), it should be doable if they catch cheaters through crowdsourcing.

Feel free to share your Trials experiences in the comments. Do you also find that cheaters in the PvP endgame are getting increasingly brazen, or have you not noticed that yet? What do you think of the idea of “Trials-Cops”? Do you believe streamers would take on this job?
By the way, cheat providers are just as brazen as their customers, as this case shows:
